Interpretation:
The table is to be completed by writing the chemical formulas for each of the compounds. The name of each compound is to be stated with the help of Latin system nomenclature.
Concept introduction:
Binary compounds are defined as those ionic compounds that contain metal ions connected to nonmetal ions. The overall charge of such compounds is neutral because the oppositely charged metal cations and nonmetal anions are bonded to each other.
In the chemical formula of binary compounds, the cation is present before the anion.
According to the Latin system of nomenclature, the compounds are named by adding suffix-ous or –ic to the Latin name of the metal ion.
Answer to Problem 66E
The complete table is shown below.
IONS | cyanide ion | sulfite ion | permanganate ion |
mercuric ion | mercuric cyanide |
mercuric sulfite |
mercuric permanganate |
ferric ion | ferric cyanide |
ferric sulfite |
Ferric permanganate |
stannic ion | stannic cyanide |
stannic sulfite |
stannic permanganate |
Explanation of Solution
In the Latin system of nomenclature, the lower charge ion uses an –ous suffix and the ion with higher charge uses an –ic suffix to their Latin name.
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of mercuric ion and sulfite ion is mercuric sulfite. It contains positively charged mercuric ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of mercuric ion and permanganate ion is mercuric permanganate. It contains positively charged mercuric ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of ferric ion and cyanide ion is ferric cyanide. It contains positively charged ferric ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of ferric ion and sulfite ion is ferric sulfite. It contains positively charged ferric ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of ferric ion and permanganate ion is ferric permanganate. It contains positively charged ferric ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of stannic ion and cyanide ion is stannic cyanide. It contains positively charged stannic ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of stannic ion and sulfite ion is stannic sulfite. It contains positively charged stannic ion,
The name of the compound that is formed by the combination of stannic ion and permanganate ion is stannic permanganate. It contains positively charged stannic ion,
The complete table is shown below.
IONS | cyanide ion | sulfite ion | permanganate ion |
